gROWth Team Tops 2016 Member Initiatives

A rowing “think tank” of sorts, the gROWth Team is a diverse team representative of USRowing membership, including junior/scholastic, collegiate, and masters coaches, administrators and athletes from across the country recognized as visionaries, leaders and advocates of the sport. Launched early 2016, this team provides insight, reflection and engagement in a variety of programs and services supporting the growth of rowing.

Among the goals for the gROWth Team include recommendations on programming and resource development priorities for the next 3 years, identification of strategic partnerships and community engagement opportunities, as well as proposed improvements to the USRowing committee structure.

In support of these goals, team members will also address four key areas:

Margot Zalkind – Executive Director – Foundation for Rowing Education, former president of Saugatuck Boat Club
